We present this day two Letters from our Correspondent at Paris, which we received on Saturday, but had not then time or room to in sert. Our Headers will perceive that the Writer is no tool of the French Ministers, but that, though he is disposed to s . upport their principles, and ap prove of their views, he is by no means disposed to bestow unmingled praise upon their conduct. From all that we can gather from this Writer, upon whose judgment and impartiality we confi dently rely, it seems to us that our own Minis ters are subject to the same qualifiecicommenda tion. Their principles are sound, and their object is certainly the national interest and honour, but • they do not seem to act with a sufficiently persever ing energy towards their opponents. They preserv ed the Country, indeed, With firmness, from insur ieetion, and its probable consequences, but they do not systematically carry good intentions and salutary measures into vigorous execution, they teem to be held in awe, if not fear, by the most contemptible OPPOSITION, Writers and Orators, that ever disturbed the operations of Government, or attempted to throw a State into confusion. Extract from The Cornwall Gazette.—" The Princess Elizabeth, Captain SCOTT, arrived at Fal mouth -on the 16th inst. 63 days from Rio Ja- On the 21st March, in lap. 19. 38. long. 40. she fell in with a ship and a brig under Spa nish colours, the, former mounting 18 guns and 140 men; the latter 14 guns and 120 men, which boarded her, and took out the captain and crew , and plundered her of Toney on freight, passen gers' baggage ) watches, &c. &c. Afterwards they gave up the ship, and said they were fitted out at Cadiz. The ship was called the Five Brothers, and the brig the Chica. After the plunder. the Cap tain of the brig advised that the pack el and all the crew should be sunk, but it was prevented by the Captain of the ship. The mail and disp f atches were thrown overboard." BUENOS AYRES, JAN. 21,—The Buenos Ayres Government have lately declared War against ARTIGAS, and have sent over 1000 troops to act in junction vri;ll a party of his own soldiers, who have revolted against his antiority. The advanced gnard have all eady had a skirmish with ARTIGAS'i trOops, in which, the former woe beaten. The Portuguese are at present blockading Co lonia, a small sea-port, nearly oppusite this, on the other side of the river. The Patti°la privateer, Capt. TAYLOR, arrived about 10 days ago from cruising off Cadiz. There are a considerable number of privateers 'oclunging to Buenos Ayres at present outcruising, but they have sent in no prizes•for several weeks past. We refer our Readers to the admit•able Letter Of FALKLAND, in our Paper of this day, not only on account of tl►e subject to which it itm►mediately relates, but for the soundness of its principles, and the correctness and force of its observations on the prevalence of those doctrines which pro duced the French Revolution, and have spread false and dangerous notions among unraecting people in every part of the I•t is usual with certain Writers to load Kith abuse all plans proposed by his Majesty's Govern men,. They never consider the circumstances, they never suggest any thing wiser or better,—it is nothing. to them whether a plan fail or ILLIC• ceed,—whether the burthens of the people be relieved or increased. Their own finances oc cupy their real attention, selfishness is their attri bute--profit their object. This class of Writes, has been particularly active ngiinst the new Finance Plan. They have told us at the same moment, that it is disadvantageous to We Stock -holder and ruinous to the Public, without re membering the inconsistency the two assertions involve. • IVe do not indeed ) expect from them consist ency, or eve!, decency, when they attack the plans of Government, but as a matter of curiosity we wish they would condescend to explain ho►v both the Public and the Stockholders are to lose by the same operation. To us the original plan appears to have been wisely conceived. For the payment of 111. in money, a holder of 1001. 3 per Cent. Stark, was to receive 31 per Cent. instead of 3 per Cent, for such Stock, with a pledge that it would not be paid off for 10 years: Individuals by this means would have lent their money to the Public at 41. I Is. per Cent. The Public obtained it without any increase to the Capital of the N, r ional Debt, an object of vast importance, ►hen we look to the future re-payments, though of very lit le consequence to the Stockholder. In add►tion to this, every subscriber of 111. in money was at liberty 'o food 221. in Exchequer• Bills, at a profit cf about 3 per Cent. according to the then price of Stocks. It was considered that this s•ould be a sufficient bonus to the monied men, but they thought more might be made of the public necessities, to!, in conszquence, declined subscribing to any extent. It has, therefore, been determined that every Sub scriber of 1 I/. in money shall be allovvcd to fund 1001. it; Exchequer' Bills, instead of 221 , until 27 millions are funded and the• S,,bstription has . filled rapidly. By the result of this measure no altet ed, Government will rake three millions of money in cash, anti by relieving the market of 27 millions of Exchequer Bills, they will be enabled to issue as many more as mAy be neces. sary to raise the money wanted for the service of the present year. The Exchequer Bills will b e f un d e d on terms as advantageous as could be expect ed, considering the amount of the unfunded debt, and the ►coney required for the service of the year, obtained on the most advantageous terms. We cannot, therefore, but congratulate the Public that a result so entirely satisfactory has been obtained, notwithstanding tl►e clamour whit b has been raised, and tire efforts whicl► have been so systematically made, to render abortive the plan of Government, and to place it at ti►e mercy of the Monied Market.

PARI4, APRIL 14I.—Every person of good sense has been ashaiiied and shocked at the decision of " the Council of Discipline," of the Barristers of Paris, with respect to NII.Nia - sat Yost will have sarty Fretacci Papers-ehitt it .has adjourned side die the inscription of the name of this Juris consult on the list of the Advocates of Paris. I am certainly not the defender of M. Mar:vitt, but will always, as much as in me lies, defend what I consider to be reason, justice, and good sense, The- question was, to know whether M. MANUEL possessed capacity, probity, delicacy, and the manners of a Gentleman. The Council of Advo, cates of Aix had pronounced iii the effirmative: that of Paris is of the saute opinion, yet refuses to admit him. On what does it ground its re fusal) Perhaps, because M. NI ANU EL W 55 a par tizan of BuoNAPARTE, dining the 100 days. I again repeat, that I ain not the champion of men who played parts at that epoch so disastrous to France; and I feel that, were I a Frenchman, I should not have - ranged myself tinder the banners that M. MANUEL has followed. But the question is not here political : the profession of an Advo cate is a free one ; to fulfil it, it only requires probity and talent, and no one still contest the possession of both in M. MANUEL, What then is the meaning of the coauct• of the Advocates of ,Paris ? Do they also wish to make their Epurations ? Or rather, for such it seems, are they afraid that an Advocate of Aix will display talents far super for to the greater part of the Ad vocates of Paris ? - I confess that 1 am inclined to believe that a mean and ridiculous jealousy dictated their conduct. This is enough for the Gentlemen of the Bar : let, us now regard the matter in a political point of view. Is it not abominable to see a urn of merit and talents of a superior order, hunted down by an ig n oble spirit of vengeance, that pursues him every where? M. MANUEL may have been ninth to blame, I grant it ; but why confirm him in his errors by pushing, him, iu spite of himself, amongst the discon tented; by making him experience the most pitiful perSecutionsi If the Bench of Banisters pretend that they save only rejected M. Masorq. on ac- MIDI of his political sentiments,, as contrai y to, legitimate Monarchy, I would tell them, that they thereby shew themselves profoundly ignorant of the true interests of the cause they have taken upon them to defend, and that it is only by being just ourselves that we can make truth and virtue respected by others. M. ETIENNE, one of the Editors of Lo ilThterve (wore generally known by its anagram La Ver mine), and who was in the pay of the Duke de . Rovico (SAVARY), under the Usurper, has ad dressed a petition to the Minister of Police, to ob tain the 40,000 francs a-year that be had in the time of IitIONAPARI E. M. ETIENNE is too cunning to make this de •mand in a direct manner ; he thereto! e heats a b ou t the bush, and expresses his wishes in ambiguous terms in the Minerve. fie begins by praising M. de GAZES for having given an explanation to the Chamber on a jetition that had been referred to him. shall have," says he, (i the courage to praise the Minister of Police for his conJuct." Ihe courage ! ! ha !ha ! ltd ! Courage is a very pretty word in the mouth -ot a man whom isi.oure made an arrant coward, and who, as experience has shewn, prefers to wipe off the n►ath of a dirty rioe with his pocket-handkerchief than with a sword. M. ETIENNE is a man of peace, and of such delicate nerves, that be cannot bear the smell of any powder but hair powder ; hence, how energetical are the words I shall hare the courage in the month of M. 14.:TIENNE. Yet, notwith standing, he will have the courage to praise M. de Caze.s. What an effort upon himself, _and how the Minister must thank bins for this rate intrepi dity ! tie then adds, on the subject of M. de Ca Z ES, "After the honour of g /yin g a ,good example, conies immediately that (if following one." Now you must know, that the Minister of Police, in giving the information to the Chamber, followed the exarujileof the Minister at War. But M. ETIENNE immediately perceives that be has not yet shewn sufficient courage, and he continues in these terms—" I might even place M. de GAZES an the same line With M. Gout. ioN fir. CYR, for the vanity of men in place rflen prevents them from doing a good action which another has done before them." No doubt, Mr. Editor, you smoke M. ETIENNE, and perceive that he cleally insinuates that SavAHT having given hint 40,000 francs a-year, it belongs to M. de GAZE'S to follow the example of this Soldier of BUONAPARTE, and that then he could pl.►ce him on the same line with the latter. What can be more delicate, more adroit, or more cou rageous than this manner of re-den►audiug a pen sion of 40,000 francs ; for as M. ETIENNE very propel!). observes, " Nothing is more difficult for a man of letters, than to render even the most strict justice to a Minister of Police in the present state of the Press." We all know that the task was umcb easier in the time of BUONAPARTE. P.vals, APRIL. 15.—1 confess to you, Sir, that I thought Government had some band in the refusal to permit M. MA- N&EL. to be called to the Bar, as stated in my last, but ac cording to my general role,l forbore to communicate toy sus picions,, which, if unfounded, would have been calumnious ; where a fact is doubtful, 1 leave it, and it is only when have acquired a degree of certitude, that I praise or blame ornly. I have endeavoured to clear up the point in ques tion, and I can now positively assure you, that several per sons who held offices of very high rank, unties' Government, and who are dacidedly Ministerial, neglected nothing to in duce the Council of Advocates to agree to the demand of MANVeL. I Lm, therefore, Ica to consider the conduct of il l Council as the effect 'of a base and . contemptible jealousy:he need not again repeat that I am neither the friend nor al .„ cate of M. MANUEL, but things mu s t not be confouuded‘r To prevent M. MAN u et. from exercising his talents as a rister at the Bar of Paris is a cowardly act, and an irO ic h , able vexation, and is on a par with the proceeding s of l"oi Mayor of Lyons, the fatuous M. tie Fnantses, who wi ll allow a Jew, Protestant, Turk, or Pagan, or, in bet' other sect than that of the Papists, to exercise the li ° " °° ,l able but modest functions of Shoe-blacks in the streets that City; of which he is the glorious Chief I%lagistrate.. ,00 In two of try former letters I mentioned to you the arti for 'calumny brought against Messieurs COMTE and llyreotO they would have both been arrested the day before Yr st i d o but M. Costre being a married man, the officers b" right to enter the nuptial chamber, and he escaped bY a b%, staircase, and got clear off. As to M. Dusoreu, W° rested and taken to the Prison La Force, from when ce ' ° , ' ,l predicted, he will be sent prisoner to Ftennes. Th is arr.' has caused a great rumour at Parrs, not on account of 3° o interest taken by the_ public in the affairs of Messieurs C°M f f a t and DUNOYER, but bec au s e the Paris Papers, I knew' not tr. what reason, having never mention e d any thing of tits to cedent parts already stat e d in my l e tt ers . The multitude ced strued the conduct of Governme n t as an arbitrary act' al, in this respect I must say th e G overnmen t is rightly se Why has it kept silent, when it could at once bays rru3'oo ed every ground of suspicion ? Why was n o t the politic itl fg er ed of the regular progress of th:s affair, as the s impl e° le tails would have proved that it conformed itself in °l ' ll to spect to the letter and spi r it o f th e l aw , which or ders ti l l s e arrest of the delinquents wh o w ill no t o bey. the r e s . o i summons, and the order to appear before the Cour t 7 this order has been served on Conrc and DusUria' of a month, and which these sturdy advocates for th e r of the law have ev e r si nce res i s t e d; th ere f or e, what I ts a id done ought to have been done, but what might be - not been said, viz. that the Ministers are not yet s ullicl : ° to familiar with Constitutional principles; they do Oot 6ev- o pi• he aware that it is not enough to respect the law s ' ts : t slims also must he resp ec t e d, an d th a t if they W i eej lighten it, the natural and infallible result will ber will be the butt of calumny, which their neglect wade them deserve.
